Avolites Announces New T3, Replacing Titan Mobile
Avolites recently made announcement that they would be releasing a new model called the T3, therefore replacing the Titan Mobile.
We still don’t know much about the new console but Avolites made a social media post today that read “the countdown begins”. So I’m expecting to know more soon. It’s being advertised as the smallest and most portable console that they’ve ever produced. Judging by the sneak-peak image they posted online, it should look like slick little panther cub.
Official Statement from Avolites:
“Avolites, a world leader in the innovation of visual control systems, announces today, the news of the replacement of the globally recognized Titan Mobile, which has now ceased production.
Avolites launched its smallest control surface the Titan Mobile in 2010, together with a companion wing. Over its twelve years of production, it has become trusted and depended upon world-wide by many thousands of users. Over the years the Titan Mobile has been equally at home powering live productions on all sizes of stage to major installations. Anywhere were a small footprint, reliable hardware and a powerful lighting software platform has been needed.
Today, we are pleased to announce the arrival this Spring of the new T3, the Titan Mobile replacement. Created in collaboration with leading lighting designers, the new T3 is the lightest, smallest, most portable console we have ever produced. It shares the new design language first seen in the Diamond 9, and together with the companion Wing they form an unbeatable portable control surface. The new T3 is the leading product in the PC powered, T Series comprising of exiting products T1 and T2, now with the T3 and T3-Wing.
Paul Wong, Avolites Managing Director says: “We are hugely excited by the introduction of the new T3. Not just because it combines a user centered design approach, with high quality materials and components. But because we believe its reliability, affordability, familiarity, and ease of use will all contribute to the T3 being the ultimate tool for every Lighting Designer or Operator, for many years to come”.
More information on the T Series and its newest members the T3 and T3-W will be released in the coming weeks.
N.B. The Titan Mobile Wing is still available to purchase to use with a Quartz console.”
Maybe It Will Change My Mind
I’ve never really been a big fan of the Avolites consoles. To me, the user interface is just a little too cumbersome and clunky. That’s my personal opinion though, there’s a great deal of people that love these consoles. Hoping to see some changes in the future that can meet in the middle of the user-friendly side of ADJ’s MyDMX and the intense workflow abilities of the GrandMA systems.
